BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL
• Remove any packaging and labels from the appliance.
• Wipe the exterior and cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
• Place the grill on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, in a well ventilated area,
with the lid closed.
• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The power light
will glow.
• When the grill reaches operating temperature, the thermostat light will glow. It
will then cycle on and o as the thermostat operates to maintain the tempera-
ture.
Note: When using your grill for the rst time, the unit may emit a ne
smoke vapour and scent. This is normal and is caused by the rst
heating of the new elements and new cooking plates.
• Switch the power o at the wall power outlet, allow the grill to cool then wipe
over the cooking plates once again using a damp cloth.
4
CONDITION THE COOKING PLATES
Note: Conditioning the cooking plates will help prolong the life of the
non-stick coating.
• Lift the lid and wipe the upper and lower cooking plates lightly with cooking oil.
• Switch the power on at the wall power outlet. The heating light will illuminate. Allow the thermostat light to cycle on and o at least 2 times.
• Switch the power o at the wall power outlet, remove the plug and allow the grill
to cool.
• Wipe o any excess oil with a dry paper towel and close the lid.
FLAT FOR SANDWICHES OR TILTED FOR GRILLING?
• You may raise the rear foot to tilt the grill and speed the ow of fat into the drip
tray, or leave it at to prevent llings such as melting cheese moving towards
the front of the grill.
• Grill meat, burgers, anything that exudes fat, on the tilt.
• Grill sandwiches, panini, foods with uid llings like melting cheese, on the at.
• Centre the drip tray under the front of the grill, to catch run-o.
USING YOUR GRILL
• Place the grill on a at, level, heat resistant surface, leaving enough space
around all sides to allow heat to ow without damage to cabinets, walls and
overhanging curtains.
• Either raise the rear foot to tilt the grill or leave at and under the base of the
grill.
• Place the drip tray under the front of the grill.
• Using the handle, close the lid.
• Plug the power cord into a power outlet and turn the power on. The light will
illuminate.
• The green thermostat light will illuminate when the grill reaches operating tem-
perature.
NOTE: The thermostat light will cycle on and off during cooking as the
grill maintains temperature.
• Using the handle, lift the lid and carefully place items to be cooked onto the bot-
tom cooking plate.
• Close the lid, allowing the grill to begin cooking from both sides at once. The
grill is designed with a oating hinge to cope with thick or oddly shaped foods
allowing even cooking.
• The grill plates should be parallel to avoid uneven cooking.
5
NOTE: Normal cooking times are signicantly reduced as the grill
cooks from both sides at once. As a rule of thumb, cooking times are
generally halved when compared to traditional ‘one side at a time’
grilling.
CAUTION: Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
• Monitor food whilst cooking to ensure food is fully cooked and does not burn.
• When nished cooking switch the power o at the power outlet and remove the
plug.
• Using an oven mitt or tea towel, carefully open the lid.
• Remove food using the plastic spatula or a non-metallic utensil.
NOTE: Be sure to always use either silicone, plastic or wooden utensils
so as not to scratch the non-stick surface. Never use metal tongs, forks
or knives as these can damage the coating of the cooking plates.
• Allow the grill to cool completely.
CAUTION: Be sure the drip tray contents have cooled before removing
drip tray.
• Once cool, the drip tray may be removed and emptied and the grill can be
cleaned.
NOTE: Where the top and bottom plates make contact, the non-stick
surfaces may show signs of wear. This is purely cosmetic and will not
affect the operation of the grill.
CLEANING
CAUTION: Always unplug from the wall power outlet and allow the grill
to cool before cleaning.
Do not immerse the grill in water or in any other liquid.
• Before cleaning, switch o the power and remove the plug from the wall power
outlet.
• Place the drip tray under the front of the grill.
CAUTION: Take extra care when cleaning the cooking plates, making
sure the grill lid does not close accidently and cause injury. Hold the
grill open using the handle when cleaning the cooking plates.
• Wipe the cooking plates with paper towel to clean o any excess fat or food.
Then wipe with a cloth or soft sponge dampened in warm soapy water, allowing any run o to be caught in the drip tray. Wipe dry with a soft cloth or paper
towel.

• To remove stubborn spots, gently rub with a cloth dampened with cooking oil
while the cooking plates are still warm (NOT hot).
CAUTION: Do not use scouring pads, scrapers, or metal objects to
clean the cooking plates. They will damage the surface.
• Remove the drip tray and wash in warm soapy water using a soft sponge, nylon
brush or soft sponge. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

STORAGE
• Ensure that the grill is switched o and the plug is removed from the power
outlet.
• Ensure all parts have been cleaned and dried thoroughly before storing.
• Once the grill has cooled wrap the cord around the guides in the base of the grill
and store in a clean, dry place.
QUICK COOKING GUIDE
Use these times purely as a guide. Cooking times are based on fresh, fully defrosted food.
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more. Cook meat,
poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) until the juices run clear. Cook sh until
the esh is opaque throughout.
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.

RECIPE
George Foreman’s Power Burger
A delicious hamburger that we think tastes even better than its all-meat cousin! To reduce
saturated fat in a typical burger, you can cut back on the amount of meat and make up for
it with plant healthy ingredients such as whole meal bread crumbs, chopped vegetables,
cooked rice, other grains or cereals.
If you wish to add cheese to your burger, Swiss cheese is lower in fat than Cheddar.
Another healthy alternative if you like condiments with your burger, mustard contains far
less fat than mayonnaise.
Top your Power Burger with fresh slices of tomato, dark, leafy green lettuce such as
spinach and nish with fresh parsley and basil leaves.
Ingredients:
¼ cup nely chopped vegetables (eg. spring onions, zucchini, red or green capsicum)
¼ cup grated carrot
¼ cup whole meal breadcrumbs
1 brown onion nely diced
1 egg
2 tbs parsley
2 sprigs of thyme, leaves only
750g lean minced steak (5-star)
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Ground black pepper
Method:
1. In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well, using hands
2. Shape the mixture into eight patties, place on a plate and refrigerate for 10 minutes
3. Meanwhile, preheat grill. Arrange patties on hotplate and cook for 4-6 minutes,
until juices run clear.
4. Serve on whole meal hamburger buns with spinach, fresh tomato, low fat cheese,
fresh herbs and mustard
Makes 8 burger patties
NOTE: For all recipes, please remember to place Drip Tray in front of the Grilling Machine
to catch drippings from the cooking process.
